foreign policy is the gentlelady from florida, former chairman of the foreign affairs committee, to whom i'd yield now, ms. ileana ros-lehtinen. ms. ros-lehtinen: thank you so much, mr. speaker. i want to thank mr. roskam for his leadership in spear heading this discussion on the dangers of last month's interim nuclear agreement deal with iran. as we've had more time to dissect this deal, it is becoming clearer and clearer that despite secretary kerry's claim that no deal is better than a bad deal, we've been had. in exchange for the one thing that iran so desperately needs, sanctions relief to jump-start its flailing economy, the administration received nothing more than window dressing to stop iran's nuclear program. this interim deal is the unraveling of the sanctions policy that was so painstakingly crafted over the past 10 years. and it was aimed at bringing iran's nuclear program to an end. we've already seen other nations eager to get back into the iranian market, and it will now be nearly impossible to stop the cash infusion into the iranian regime. how can we stop this? this dea

and it is the president's centerpiece of his foreign policy. iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon. this imperative is at the top of our national security agenda, and i know it's at the top of yours as well. so i really do welcome the opportunity to have a discussion not only about what the first- step agreement does, but also to clarify -- i hope significantly what it doesn't do, because there's a certain, as there is in any of these kinds of things, a certain mythology that sometimes grows up around them. the title of today's hearing is "the iran nuclear deal: does it further u.s. national security? " and i would state to you unequivocally the answer is yes. the national security of the united states is stronger under this first-step agreement than it was before. israel's national security is stronger than it was the day before we entered into this agreement. and the gulf and middle east interests are more secure than they were the day before we entered this agreement. now, here's how: put simply, once implemented -- and it will be in the ne
